Can't Save as a Png or Jpeg

When ever I try and save as a png or jpeg photoshop cc crashes and the file doesn't save. Also there is a warning button next to save that when i click it it says:
"the current file format must be saved as a copy because: It will not save all the document layers."

What OS version are you using?
Have you installed the 14.1.1 update?
And it sounds like you have added layers to the image, so it must save as a copy to those format that don't support layers (which is perfectly normal).
But I'd like to know what is causing you to crash while saving.
Does it crash while the save dialog is open? After the format options dialog goes away? Have you tried disabling background saving?

Save As - can't save a pic as a Jpeg

Hi,
How do I set Firefox to always save a photo as a Jpeg then right clicking to "Save As" when I wish to copy a photo from a web page please? I have Windows XP.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I apologise for the delay in responding.
When I select Save-Image-As:
I am able to decide a location where to place the file when downloaded.
Then there's a drop down box (Save As Type) where the options are:
a) Serif PhotoPlus Picture
d) All files
I used to be able to select from a much longer list of options including jpeg when I used Internet Explorer.
How can I save as a jpeg when it's no longer listed please?

CS2 on OS 10.5: Can't save as GIF, PNG, ... ?

I'm running CS2 on 10.5 and the ability to save an 8-bit file as a GIF or PNG or "Save to the Web" is not possible. I must be missing the obvious, but I have tried opening and saving different files but they all have same issue. What I can save as is all the Photoshop formats, JPEG, PICT and TIFF and SciTex. Suggestions?
Thanks, Andrew.

Andrew,
CS2 is not supported in Leopard (OS 10.5.x) and will not get updated, ever.
If you can, revert to Tiger (10.4.x). Or upgrade to Photoshop CS3.

Can't save transparency in PNG?

I use CS6 and I have done everything stated in the tutorials on how to save transparency and I still get a white background in the result.
I've deleted the background and it appears transparent in the program, I save for web and select transparency (PNG24) in the checkbox but the result it still the same. It is driving me up the wall.
Do I really need to get a separate program to set the transparency?
My document settings already include setting the background as transparent. Why isn't it transparent?
I save it like this and the result is a white background. I cannot use this sprite.

Hi All,
I have logged this issue with reproducible steps.
The Bug number is 211097.
Thanks

Can't save as or export as jpeg in Preview

I used to be able to open different formats in Preview and save them as jpegs. Now I can only export as a pdf. Is there anything I can do?
thanks,
Jane

Actually I realize the problem is that I had a .pct . I exported a still from a quicktime movie and the only format I could chose was .pct. So I thought I could convert it to jpg in Preview. But with the .pct, the Export choice is greyed out.

Can I save a PSD as a JPEG? Elements 10

I know there is a way to save a .psd to .jpeg but I cannot find it in Elements 10. Help please!

If you don't see JPEG in the Save As formats, you probably have a 16 bit file. Go to Image>Mode>8 bits/channel and then try.

Can't save as JPEG without CS6 converting as IFF file

Suddenly I can't save my PSD files as JPEG file without CS6 wanting to turn them into iff files. Keeps prompting me to to choose from a drop down menu as Maya or Amiga files. I've checked to be sure my file is set for 8 bits and srgb. Not working with video files of any sort. In fact, I've tried saving past PSD files as JPEG and it's giving me the same iff prompt. Please help!

What operating system are you using?
What version of photoshop cs6?
(Help>System Info)
Did you point the additional plugins in the photoshop>preferences>plug-ins to an older version of photoshop?
Did you move or copy any plugins from an older version of photoshop into photoshop cs6?
Could you post the contents of the Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6?

Photoshop CS6 - Can't save anything

So I can save PSD fine, and I can save as TIF, but TIF is huge. I tried to save as GIF, PNG, and JPEG, but none worked. It gives me the little yellow exclamation mark and says I can only save as a copy. I have RGB color mode on, and it is in 8 bit.

What version of photoshop are you using?
Since layers cannot be saved in the gif, png,and jpeg file formats, the little yellow exclamation point only means photoshop will save a flattened version of your file, hence the word Copy.
(the file should look the same after saving and the original will still be open in photoshop)
If you need to save the file exactly as is in photoshop for later editing, then psd or tiff are the best file formats.

[SOLVED] GIMP can only save XCF. bzip, gzip.

Hi all. I had used GIMP 2.6 before -Syu, then it installed GIMP 2.8. After this upgrade, i can't save files to PNG, JPG, etc... (XCF, bzip, gzip only). The strange thing is that GIMP still can open PNG and other files, but it can't save. What can be the problem? The only thing terminal says when i start GIMP:
Gimp-Widgets-CRITICAL **: gimp_device_info_set_device: assertion `(info->device == NULL && GDK_IS_DEVICE (device)) || (GDK_IS_DEVICE (info->device) && device == NULL)' failed
Is there any way to solve this problem?

If you only need to save as a jpeg or png, after exporting, you are left with an unwanted 'untitled' image that remains on the screen that you must kill after you are done.
The other side of the coin is that separating export/save can help reduce the chance that a user might destroy their source XCF by saving as a PNG and then exiting GIMP. It isn't something that has caused me a great deal of grief, but it's a welcome change. Yes, it's awkward and introduces another step, but it's a feature I can grow to appreciate.
That said, there are things I don't like about 2.8 mostly related to window behavioral changes that make previous use cases somewhat difficult, but IIRC, at least one of the issues I encountered was a known but relatively minor bug. I've been holding off on updating from 2.6 until it's fixed (horray for custom PKGBUILDs!), but I'm pretty confident that 2.8 will be much welcomed once they iron out a few more issues. There are a few improvements I really like.

HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

Ashe,
In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

How to alter project's dpi when saving and can you save as jpeg

How can I save a project in pages to a jpeg to be uploaded for printing at an outside agency? I need to alter the dpi and the overall size of the file to enable enlargement.

Judy,
Yes, Preview has some powerful tools for such a low-profile system app. I use it all the time.
The problem that I have with JPEG is how bad text looks after JPEG compression. TIFF or PNG seem to me to be much better choices.
Increase the zoom on one of your exports containing text and see what you think.

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

How to save content of JPanel into jpeg or png file

I have to independent classes: Class A and Class B. Each class constructs its own graphical objects:
Class A {
//do something
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int w = getSize().width;
int h = getSize().height;
bi = new BufferedImage(
w,h,100,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
g2d = bi.createGraphics();
// draw lines
g2d.drawImage(bi,0,0,ww,hh, this);
Class B {
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int w = getSize().width;
int h = getSize().height;
bi = new BufferedImage(
w,h,100,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
g2d = bi.createGraphics();
// draw lines
g2d.drawImage(bi,0,0,ww,hh, this);
Two buffered images get properly displayed within JPanel component. However, I need to save two those results into one file. If I add saving file routine into every class, at best I can only get them to be in two different files.
Please let me know if anyone can help me with this problem.
Thanks,
Jack

You didn't mention what should be the format of file that the combines the images. Here are two options:
1. Create another BufferedImage, and draw the BufferedImages from class A and B over this BufferedImage and save it as JPEG or PNG.
In each of the class, you can add a method like getBufferedImage(), which would return the local BufferedImage. A third class, say class C, needs to call this method in each of the classes, and then draw the BufferedImages returned by these methods over another BufferedImage. Save this BufferedImage as a JPEG or PNG.
A disadvantage of this approach is that you can't easily retrieve the individual images from the resulting file.
2. Create a single zip file by adding the individual JPEG/ PNG images created from the BufferedImage in class A and B.
Here is an example that creates single zip file of JPEG images from an array of BufferedImageObjects:
public static void zip(String outfile, BufferedImage bufimage[]){
     if(bufimage == null) return;
     try{
         File of = outfile.endsWith(".zip")? new File(outfile): new File(outfile+".zip");
         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(of);
         ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
         for(int i=0;i<bufimage.length;i++){
             try{
                ByteArrayOutputStream boutstream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                JPEGImageEncoder enc = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(boutstream);
                enc.encode(bufimage);
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry("bufimage"+(new Integer(i)).toString()+".jpg");
entry.setMethod(ZipEntry.DEFLATED);
zos.putNextEntry(entry);
byte[] fileBuf = boutstream.toByteArray();
zos.write(fileBuf,0,fileBuf.length);
zos.closeEntry();
} catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace();}
zos.flush();
zos.close();
}catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
The above method uses the JPEG codec and the zip package, both of which available in J2SE. In other words, you need to import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg and java.util.zip packages.
With this approach, you can easily retrieve the individual JPEGs using the java.util.zip package.

Can't open/save pictures as PNG anymore! NEED HELP!

Hello!
Since yesterday I have the problem, that I can't open/save pictures as PNG any more, the option is completely gone.
When I try to open one, it says "not the right kind of document".
I don't know what I've done, I just wanted to install filters and I've put them in the Plug-ins/Filters folder.
But they didn't work so I've put them out again.
I already deleted my preferences and I am desperate, I don't know what to do anymore.
I have Photoshop CS5.
Thanks for the possbile help I could get.

I tried to install the additional plugins you know see in this list. But they don't work or at least I don't know where to find them.
Maybe I did something wrong and made something to my PNG because of the installation of the other plugins.

I am making color seperations using channels. Can i save my work as a PNG file ?

Hi,
My question is " I am making color seperations using channels. I am not working with layers. Can i save my work in channels, as a PNG file ? "
thank you

Separations, not "seperations". Just remarkabkle how many pros working with separations all the time can't spell the term right.
Check out this discussion:

Can't Save as a Png or Jpeg
